Cookie Policy
Effective date: June 18, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Upturn Technologies LLC uses cookies and similar technologies on the Clear Builders USA platform and website (the “Service”). It should be read with our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and understand how the Service is used. We also use similar technologies such as local storage.
2. Types of cookies we use
- Strictly necessary (essential): required for the Service to work — for example, your authenticated session (so you stay logged in) and security. These cannot be switched off in our systems without breaking the Service.
- Preferences: remember choices such as your language and whether the sidebar is collapsed.
- Analytics: help us understand usage and improve the product (provided by PostHog). You can decline these from our cookie banner (“Necessary only”), and where supported we respect Do-Not-Track / Global Privacy Control signals.
3. Cookies & similar technologies we use
| Name | Purpose | Category | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| cb_session | Keeps you signed in to your account (secure, HTTP-only). | Necessary | Up to 7 days (or until you close the browser if “Keep me signed in” is off) |
| cb_admin_session | Keeps platform administrators signed in to the admin console. | Necessary | 30 min idle / 12 h max |
| cb_cookie_consent | Remembers your cookie choice (stored on your device). | Necessary | Until cleared |
| sb-collapsed | Remembers whether the sidebar is collapsed (stored on your device). | Preference | Until cleared |
| Language preference | Remembers your chosen language (stored on your device). | Preference | Until cleared |
| ph_* (PostHog) | Product analytics — how the app is used, to help us improve it. | Analytics | Up to ~12 months |
| __stripe_mid / __stripe_sid | Set by Stripe on payment pages for fraud prevention and secure checkout. | Necessary | Session / up to 1 year |
Some names above are stored using your browser’s local storage rather than traditional cookies; we treat them the same way for transparency. Third parties (such as Stripe and PostHog) may set additional cookies under their own policies.
4. Third-party cookies
Some features rely on third parties that may set their own cookies, including Stripe (payments) and PostHog (analytics). Their use of cookies is governed by their own policies.
5. Managing cookies
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking essential cookies may prevent you from logging in or using parts of the Service. You can also control analytics through browser privacy signals where supported.
6. Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time and will post the updated version with a new effective date.
